The high-stakes world of flagship smartphones is about to witness a seismic shift. While Vivo’s previous "Ultra" models were strictly reserved for the Chinese market, the upcoming
Vivo X300 Ultra is officially breaking those boundaries. Fresh from appearing on European databases, the device
has now surfaced on Indonesia’s
TKDN certification platform under model number
V2562. This regulatory milestone confirms that Vivo is finally ready to take its most ambitious imaging flagship to a global audience.
Key points
- Global Arrival: The Vivo X300 Ultra (V2562) has officially cleared TKDN and EEC certifications, signaling the first-ever global launch for the company's "Ultra" flagship line.
- Optical Innovation: The phone is expected to debut a revolutionary continuous optical zoom (35mm-85mm), allowing for seamless, lossless magnification without switching between separate lenses.
- Massive Resolution: Its imaging system is rumored to feature a dual 200MP setup, combining a Sony LYT-901 main sensor with a high-resolution Samsung periscope telephoto camera.
- Unmatched Battery: A staggering 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery is anticipated, providing a significant jump in endurance compared to its primary flagship competitors.
- Flagship Performance: The device will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and move to a practical 6.82-inch flat 2K LTPO display.
A True Camera Revolution
The X300 Ultra isn't just another incremental upgrade; it is a direct challenge to the established kings of mobile photography. The headline feature is a rumored continuous optical zoom system. Unlike standard telephoto lenses that rely on digital cropping between fixed steps, this technology (reportedly spanning 35mm to 85mm) allows for fluid magnification without losing a single pixel of detail.
In my view, this is the "holy grail" of mobile optics. If
Vivo successfully packs a mechanical zoom module into a slim chassis, they’ll effectively bridge the gap between a smartphone and a dedicated mirrorless camera. For creators who find 1x too wide and 5x too tight, this flexibility will be a complete game-changer for portraits and street photography. It essentially eliminates the awkward "jump" between lenses that we see on current iPhones or Samsung devices.
Powerhouse Hardware: Snapdragon 8 Elite and 7,000mAh Battery
To handle the massive data from its dual 200MP sensors, the X300 Ultra will reportedly skip the Dimensity chips of its smaller siblings. Instead, it will feature Qualcomm’s
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This 3nm powerhouse is essential for driving Vivo's "Blueprint" imaging engine and handling complex 8K video processing without breaking a sweat.
The internal specs are equally staggering:
- Display: A 6.82-inch flat 2K BOE LTPO panel, finally ditching the curved glass that many enthusiasts find polarizing.
- Battery: A massive 7,000mAh silicon-carbon cell, promising true multi-day endurance even under heavy 5G usage.
- Camera: A primary 200MP Sony LYT-901 sensor paired with a 200MP Samsung periscope lens.
A Practical Design Shift
Interestingly, leaks suggest Vivo is removing the dedicated Action Button seen on the X200 series. While some might miss the shortcut, the move is reportedly intended to save internal space for the complex camera optics and the huge battery. This trade-off emphasizes Vivo’s commitment to internal performance over external gimmicks—a move I personally applaud. It’s a refreshing change in an era where brands often prioritize "cool" features over battery life.
